Roger Waters is the latest artist to pay tribute to the late, great John Prine.
A new clip shows Waters performing “Paradise,” which originally appeared on Prine’s self-titled, 1971 debut.
“My friend John Prine died. This is his song, ‘Paradise.’ Miss you, brother,'” Waters wrote alongside the video.
In 2017, the Pink Floyd bassist made headlines when he made a surprise appearance alongside Prine at the Newport Folk Festival.

April 17, 2020 at 10:25 pmYou can always tell when someone’s opinion is informed by independent thought or by programming. JP is clearly a case of the latter.
As a Jew, I’m completely fucking fed up with people (primarily Jews) equating criticism of Israel’s policies with Antisemitism. Israel – along with it’s blind Stepford supporters – is the ONLY country on the planet that expects this special exemption from criticism.
JP, I’ll assume you’re not all that crazy about the Chinese government’s policie? To that I say you’re rabidly anti-chink! And don’t bother denying it – applying your reasoning, you don’t get to.
You have no clue what you’re talking about regarding Roger’s stage show. Along with Star of David bombs with $ signs dropping from the air, were also crosses and crescent moons depicted exactly the same way, (but Chabad and whatever other Isreali/Jewish publications provide your programming conveniently leave this out).
This doesn’t make Waters anti-Semitic, it makes him anti-organized religion, as many rational free-thinking people are (and if there were swatzika bombs with $ signs, wouldn’t that be anti-Nazi? That you would equate the meaning of that with Stars of David depicted exactly the same way shows how flawed your logic is).
.
The irony is that Israel’s Stepford supporters don’t realize is that they CONTRIBUTE to Antisemitism with their baseless false claims (the boy who cried Antisemitism). And as with all Sheeple, they’re unlikely to ever break away from the collective in order to see it (resistance is futile, after all).

April 14, 2020 at 12:48 pmSupporting Palestinian rights in the wake of Israeli Zionism, terrorism and apartheid doesn’t make one anti-Semitic. But you know that, freak.
